Configuring VPN

OpenVPN Configuration

Service Port

Enter a VPN service port to which a VPN device connects. The default port is 1194.

Local Network

Select the network on the local side of the VPN tunnel. The VPN policy will be only

applied to the selected local network.

WAN

Select the WAN port on which the VPN tunnel is established. Each WAN port

supports only one OpenVPN tunnel when the gateway works as a OpenVPN server.

IP Pool

Enter the IP address and subnet mask to decide the range of the VPN IP pool.

The VPN server will assign IP address to the remote host when the tunnel is

established. You can specify any reasonable IP address that will not cause overlap

with the IP address of the LAN on the local peer router.

Note:

After saving the settings, export the OpenVPN file that ends in .ovpn which is to be used

by the remote client. The exported OpenVPN file contains the certificate and configuration

information. It may take about 2 minutes to export the certificate.
